In the fourth sermon of the series 'Postcards for Plodders', Vijay looks at Christ's letter to Thyatira (Rev 2.18-29). Perseverance, according to this letter, means remaining unwavering in 'principled love'. This is a love that is grounded and informed by the truth revealed in Scriptures.

In the third of the 'Postcard for Plodders' series, Vijay looks at the Lord's letter to Pergamum (Rev 2.12-17). From this 'postcard' we learn that perseverance is about not compromising on the essentials. When followers of Jesus compromise their faith, they concede important teachings in the core beliefs and/or grow morally lax for some perceived gain. Perseverance means resisting compromise.
